    Here is a riddle.

    Can anyone construct a sentence (which makes sense) in which there appears the word ‘and’ five times consecutively ?

    Amazing use of English

    Can the readers of The Tribune imagine that a word in the English language can be used in a sentence as many as five times consecutively? Amazing! Isn’t it? Yes, of course. Now please read on.

    I quote here two sentences which are based on two letters published in a popular weekly during the time when Pt Jawaharlal Nehru was our Prime Minister. The first sentence uses the word “and” five times consecutively as under.

    In a certain issue of the weekly the headline on the front page appeared as “Nehru and Menon”. Referring to it, a reader wrote the following sentence in his letter addressed to the Editor:

    “The space between ‘Nehru’ and ‘and’ and ‘and’ and Menon was very small.”

    Not to be left behind, yet another reader used the word “that” five times. According to him, a certain student had wrongly used the word “that” in a sentence in his essay. Referring to the sentence, the reader quoted the teacher’s following remark in his letter addressed to the Editor:

    “The teacher said that that “that” that that student wrote in the sixth line of his essay was wrong.”

    Well done how did you find that that “that” is very cool.[:)][:)]

    Hi Guys

    Try this one.

    A variation, if the sign reads “Roland and Andrew: “You haven’t got the spaces right between “Rol” and “and” and “and” and “and” and “and” and “And” and “And” and “rew.”

    Regards
